FIVE DAY NOTICE Dead Bat Willow - I have a dead bat willow in my garden that has become dangerous to my and surrounding properties and would cause considerable damage if it fell. The tree is at least 25m high, see attached picture taken today. Because of its condition and the current weather forecast for the weekend, I intend to carry out work to take down the tree as soon as possible. In the last week I have had two local tree surgeons assess the tree and both say it is dead and needs to be felled. Please take this email as notice of my intention to carry out work to the tree.
